Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 229 and we're going to multiply it by 38, essentially adding 229 to itself 38 times.
Step 1: 0 + 229 = 229
Step 2: 229 + 229 = 458
Step 3: 458 + 229 = 687
Step 4: 687 + 229 = 916
Step 5: 916 + 229 = 1145
Step 6: 1145 + 229 = 1374
Step 7: 1374 + 229 = 1603
Step 8: 1603 + 229 = 1832
Step 9: 1832 + 229 = 2061
Step 10: 2061 + 229 = 2290
Step 11: 2290 + 229 = 2519
Step 12: 2519 + 229 = 2748
Step 13: 2748 + 229 = 2977
Step 14: 2977 + 229 = 3206
Step 15: 3206 + 229 = 3435
Step 16: 3435 + 229 = 3664
Step 17: 3664 + 229 = 3893
Step 18: 3893 + 229 = 4122
Step 19: 4122 + 229 = 4351
Step 20: 4351 + 229 = 4580
Step 21: 4580 + 229 = 4809
Step 22: 4809 + 229 = 5038
Step 23: 5038 + 229 = 5267
Step 24: 5267 + 229 = 5496
Step 25: 5496 + 229 = 5725
Step 26: 5725 + 229 = 5954
Step 27: 5954 + 229 = 6183
Step 28: 6183 + 229 = 6412
Step 29: 6412 + 229 = 6641
Step 30: 6641 + 229 = 6870
Step 31: 6870 + 229 = 7099
Step 32: 7099 + 229 = 7328
Step 33: 7328 + 229 = 7557
Step 34: 7557 + 229 = 7786
Step 35: 7786 + 229 = 8015
Step 36: 8015 + 229 = 8244
Step 37: 8244 + 229 = 8473
Step 38: 8473 + 229 = 8702

So, 229*38 = 8702
